Dear Friend
Should you
go to England this sum-
mer, I want you to ask
Mrs Mynells to do me
a kindness;  [ ?], to
mark both in Poems
& Lyrics what is best
to retain, should they





even be made one.
To me it seems that
half of each volume
at least should here-
after be omitted;
but if she marks
fewer, they will make
a better book.
Ever yours affectionately
John B. Tabb
